If there's some neat trick we are going to figure out in 9000 years to get around the speed of light then the galaxy / universe would have been overrun by advanced alien civilizations already. Who knows, we may have "sublimed" or been uploaded, but we won't be tooling around at warp 9 in velour uniforms.

- Tloewald 15y agoGood point – some kind of near light speed travel is as magic as FTL for most intents and purposes. So, no star trek.
